Before I left,friends and family told me this could be the trip of a lifetime.  Thanksto African Scenic Safaris, it was.  Your excellence was apparent from thestart, with swift answers to all our questions.  Your vehicle was betterthan any others we saw.  Our guide/driver, Ima, was knowledgeable and asinterested in what we were seeing as we were, even taking his own photos. Perhaps most importantly, you included unique, non-commercializedcultural experiences: a morning hunt with the bushmen, and a day with a Maasaifamily still living in the old ways.  That's when Africa entered my heart.

Thank you.

For us the literary that African Scenic Safaris put together wasperfect.  I won?t say it was the trip of a lifetime, because thatwould mean I will not be back.  To the contrary I will now be backwith the rest of my family and there is no question that it will be withAfrican Scenic Safaris. Finally as we compared companies for this trip it wasobvious that we needed someone who knew the country well and had a great guidestaff.  Clearly Amanda and her husband Simbo know the area well andexactly what to do and when. Our guide Ima was absolutely superb; goinginto areas that only a few guides would take the trouble to goto.  This resulted in us seeing things others were not able to see,like a den of 14 lions under a tree.  It was clear Ima wanted to makethis the best possible experience for us.  He did.  I thankthe entire African Scenic Safari staff for a wonderful experience.

We can hardly express what a wonderful adventure this trip was.  It far exceeded our expectations andmore.  With Eric as the "Magsic Man" we saw every animal in thepark and the crater. The tour from the driver to the cook out did themselves inmaking the trip comfortable and exciting. 

Asante sana ... John and Sylvia

Fantastic safari
 
Ema was a fantastic guide, full of information, good sense of humour, helpful and considerate.   Clearly he had the animals very well trained as everything we had hoped to see was there.  We also felt very safe with his driving as we found in other situations, drivers in Tanzania are often wannabe Formula 1 boy racers!  The food that Amari cooked was some of the tastiest we had during our three weeks away.  He was very attentive and we felt that, whatever we might have requested (fresh fish from Lake Manyara?) he would have done his utmost to provide it.
We appreciated your friendly efficiency and personal touches such as coming to Hostel Hoff and telling us face to face about the itinerary.

Incredible Experience
 
Ten climbers came together from around the world to hike Kilimanjaro for the Strachan Hartley Legacy Foundation in June (and eight of us went on safari afterwards).  From logistics to accomodations to pairing us with incredible guides, we all had the trip of a lifetime (and we all summited!).   
 
Thank you for your personalized attention and making our trip one that we'll never forget!

Hi,
We just want to thank for an amazing experience. We had a safari that was overwelmingly good and far beyond our HIGH expectations. Both Ryabo (guide) and Gamba (chef) were amazing. The food was incredible and the drives too!

Fantastic Safari!

I've just returned from the 4 day/3 night trip to Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.  My four friends and I had a fantastic time on the trip and we were very impressed by our tour guide, Simbo who really made it an excellent trip.  Simbo is very knowledgeable about the parks and the animals and speaks excellent English.  He is also a very good driver (and we did see some idiotic driving in the parks and on the roads on the way there) and is very good natured and easy going.  We also had a cook on our trip who produced excellent food every night and we got great packed lunches with plenty of food in.
 
All of the parks we visited were stunning in terms of scenery and we saw loads of animals. Simbo clearly knew the parks and roads very well and did a great job of getting us to see the wildlife.  We were pleased with the safari vehicle (Toyota Landcruiser), especially when we saw some other companies using dalla dallas around the park which are not very suitable for the terrain.  The top comes off the vehicle to get superb views of the animals.
 
I live and work in Moshi, Tanzania and I hear a lot about tour companies and safaris which operate in Moshi and Arusha and I don't know of anyone that has got such a good safari at this price and I would strongly recommend African Scenic Safaris to anyone.
 
Asanta sana African Scenic safaris!

Safari in Tanzania!

Me, my cousin, and three of her newfound friends went on a safari with these guys in December 2008. I can honestly say that it exceeded our "wildest" expectations! Not only in terms of all the 60 different species we got to see, but the guide/driver and the chef went beyond the call of duty to keep us comfortable and happy. The food was great, the scenery spectacular, the animals were really close by most of the time and when we started to go on about maybe visit a Masai village, our driver just said - Letīs do that then! And we did. Thank you for your patience with us!
I have told everyone that cares to listen, to contact this company if they are thinking about going to Tanzania and even put a link on my traveller-guide homepage. Thatīs how good they were.  
I am sure that the rest of the girls (Fanny, Jojo, Emma and Stina agree with me when I say:
Thank You!

The BEST safari company in Tanzania!
With this being our first trip to Africa, we knew we had to go on a safari when in Tanzania.  I feel very lucky to have gone with African Scenic Safari's as Simbo was a fantastic guide.  The entire process was easy and seamless, thanks to the behind the scenes work by Amanda.  What a great team they are.  We went on a 4 day, 3 night safari but after going we realized we would've liked one more day in the Serengeti.  I would suggest a 5 day/4night safari :)
 
While on safari, Simbo was not only helpful and patient but also very knowledgeable.  He was not only able to point out the animals but give us great explanations on each animal and other interesting tidbits.  He was very organized and timely with our start and end times leaving space for photo opps and lunch breaks.  His English is fantastic which made us feel lucky after some of the other stories we've heard from our friends whose guides barely spoke at all!
 
Omari the cook was fantastic.  That's right, get ready for 3 course meals, each and every night!  Camp food turns into a 5 star restaurant right at your camp!
 
I would HIGHLY recommend African Scenic Safari's!

Our safari experience.

Going on a safari was a dream of ours and getting the opportunity to experience this with company was absolutely wonderful!  Simbo is very knowledgeable, patient, caring, and fun! The food during the trip was fabulous (thanks Omari!).  Overall our expectations were completely blown out of the water, and we hope to experience this again somewhere down the line...we will definitely look to sign up again with African Scenic Safaris!  Thank you again.

Kilimanjaro

Simbo was our guide in 2007 as we hiked through the forest on Mt. Kilimanjaro and stayed at the Kilimanjaro View Lodge.  When I was returning to Tanzania to climb to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, I knew that Simbo had to be my guide.  In March 2008, Simbo and his friend Antipas guided us on the week-long trek to the highest point in Africa.  
Lynn and I would recommend African Scenic Safaris to anyone.  We hope to get back to Tanzania soon and go on another safari with Simbo and Amanda.
